Two January Events At Lacroix

Lacroix at the Rittenhouse Hotel is not a restaurant that often hosts food events–at least not as often as many of the other well-known places in town. But here we are, heading into a new year, and they’ve already got two on the schedule, both of which are taking reservations now.

First off, there’s a four-course Calera wine dinner scheduled for Friday, January 16. Tickets are $179 per person (not counting tax and tip), but we’re talking a lot of wine and a lot of food coming out of Lacroix’s award-winning kitchen. Check out the menu:

And then, on Monday, January 26, the house is doing a special BYO-permitted Wagyu tasting dinner with all the meat supplied by DeBragga. This is five courses, all featuring different kinds of wagyu–from American and Australian to Miyazaki. Tickets for this one are $149, which might sound pricey considering you have to bring your own booze, but look at the spread they’re laying out.
